About me

Hi everyone. I'm English and have been living in Tokyo for seven years (as of 2009). Living here constantly challenges a person to reassess his or her way of thinking, and way of living. Staying sane takes up a large slice of the day, but is a battle I feel I'm losing! Tokyo sometimes feels to me like a spaceship, with day and night artificial creations. Come and see for yourself. My blog is part of my main web site, which is itself a way of communicating with friends, family, students and hopefully even unknown visitors. Having a visitor from Uruguay being the highlight so far. So gracias to him or her.

My birthday is on 17 July

Interests

climbing, travelling with two 'l's, writing

My path 

 Japan
Tokyo

I am currently living in Japan since September 2002

My life & projects in this location:

I came here as a married man, but have since gone through some major changes. I am in the process of recreating my life in a contented way.

My occupation:

I am a freelance teacher, and part-time writer and web site builder.

What I like about this destination:

Tokyo is maddening and intoxicating. It's like living on a spaceship with artificial time.

What I don't like about this destination:

Most ex-pats grow to hate Japan, but after going through this stage, the gripes are relatively minor.
